Karovan humans
-
- humans from the planet KO-35; known as Rebels during period of refuge from Dark Specter (until 643-CTD2)
602-FON2
Andros, the Red Space Ranger, had long brown
hair with several blond streaks in it, and he wore two earrings in his
left ear.
Ashley was surprised
that Andros was human
and yet not from Earth, and he condescendingly
replied that Earth wasn't the only place where
humans lived, and that he was from a space
colony on the planet KO-35 in the Karova system.
603-SOSh
Andros possessed
telekinesis, but only after years of practice.
604-ShSh
When Cassie explained
the Ninja Turtles' curiosity about the Megaship by saying not everyone grew up
with a spaceship in their garage, Andros
corrected that they had skyports, not garages.
605-NvSS
Picking up a lifeform in the Karova system on KO-35, Andros suddenly
deduced that his lost sister Karone would go
home to KO-35 since she wouldn't have known that
the colony was deserted years ago.
Returning to KO-35 to
search for Karone, Andros had never thought he'd be back home again.
Andros remarked that the
place looked so strange, so deserted, and that if Karone had returned, she'd be very confused.
Carlos explained to the
other teens that Andros's long-lost sister wouldn't know that KO-35 had been attacked and abandoned years ago.
614-BaSt
After examining a dead bug unleashed by Darkonda, Andros
concluded that it was definitely a Barillian Bug.
Andros explained to T.J. that huge swarms of Barillian Bugs had once
attacked KO-35; they had been everywhere,
stinging without warning; in hours, people stung would turn into Barillian Bug monsters.
Andros said the only
hope for Carlos, who had been stung, was an
antidote developed by scientists on KO-35, and
the teens headed to KO-35 in hopes of finding some antidote left.
On the Dark
Fortress, Darkonda said the Rangers had gone after the antidote to the
Barillian sting; Ecliptor insisted there was no antidote, but Darkonda laughed that there was, on KO-35.
In a lower room of a blue triangle-shaped
hospital, Andros blasted open a medical
cabinet, fully-stocked with medical equipment and supplies, where Andros found a white case containing an injection
gun with what looked like two small canisters of Barillian antidote along with
it.
Oddly, none of the
architecture in the KO-35 city was damaged, and
the landscaping even remained neatly-trimmed.
When the five Rangers, cured, confronted Darkonda, he was pleased by their timing, saying
they could all watch as he destroyed the last of the antidote, and he
threw down and stomped on a plastic capsule of antidote, but surely the
Rangers still possessed some antidote, as
even if the canister sprayed by T.J. had had only
two doses in it, there had been a second canister in the case they'd
retrieved.
616-FDrk
After recalling his kidnapping of Karone prior to KO-35's
becoming uninhabited, Darkonda said that he'd
already taken anything that had been of value on KO-35.
618-TBTS
Introducing Justin to Andros, Ashley said he
was from "the space colony"; Justin, impressed,
said it was nice to meet him.
619-IOBS
The Karovans didn't celebrate birthdays.
620-SvSv
Andros began to explain
his and Zhane's story from two years ago to the
teens, recalling, "We were a team. Invincible.
Until the day Dark Specter attacked our
home planet, KO-35."
The villains had been
everywhere, relentless, Andros described; in
the streets of a city under siege, with rubble and burning cars strewn
about, white-striped Piranhatrons had
fought KO-35 troopers, as well as Andros and Zhane, morphed
as the Red and Silver Rangers; meanwhile, flying ships flew by and
blasted at buildings.
This invasion was presumably what caused KO-35 to be abandoned.
A "KO-35 Planetary
Defense" tank had been under siege by Piranhatrons, defended by troopers.
People in robes of various colors had tried to
take shelter during the onslaught, all of them appearing to have dark
hair with gray streaks in them.
One of Dark
Specter's monsters, the only monster shown in the flashback of the attack,
was an orange monster with fish fins on his head, wielding a sword.
Zhane had told Andros there was just too many of them.
When Andros had been
knocked down defending some troopers from the monster, the monster
had prepared to deliver a final blow to him, but Zhane, having been fighting Piranhatrons, had rushed in and tackled the
monster, causing a large explosion.
Amidst all the flaming city rubble, morphed Andros had carried the lifeless Silver Ranger over his shoulder
between two rows of troopers as civilians walked nearby.
Andros had then brought
Zhane to the Megaship and frozen him in an attempt to
save his life.
When Zhane's heart
apparently stopped for a moment before he emerged from the cryogenic
tube, Andros, outside, was able to sense that
something was wrong with Zhane, thinking his
friend had died.
When Ashley introduced
herself to Zhane and extended her hand, Andros explained that the gesture was called
"shaking hands" and was a greeting, but Zhane
not only said he knew that, but had also almost extended his hand in
return before Andros's explanation.
Zhane remarked that he'd
never met a female Power Ranger before.
621-Envy
Zhane, like Andros, had the power of telekinesis.
Zhane remembered himself
and Andros walking through a field in their Megaship uniforms, where they
vowed to fight as a team forever; this happy alliance had to have
occurred prior to Dark Specter's invasion
two years ago.
While fighting Ecliptor, Zhane saw a
psychic image of Andros and the other Rangers tied up in Darkonda's lab.
624-ZhnD
On the desert planet Centaur B, Zhane
and Andros were in brown cloaks in a fierce
sandstorm wearing facemasks, with Zhane using a
scanner to lead them to the first of several energy sources the teens had detected.
Soon, having departed from the Megaship in orbit, the other four teens, wearing cloaks and masks like Andros and Zhane, searched
for another strong energy reading.
Cassie found an odd
patch of coral growing on a rock, despite the lack of oceans on the
planet.
As they went to rejoin the others, T.J. and Cassie were held up
by two Rebel soldiers, armored men with small blasters, and their AmScanners were taken.
The general known as Yatru, along with more soldiers, some with
rifle-sized blasters, brought in the captured Carlos and Ashley as well
and had the four taken away.
A Rebel guard with negroid characteristics
("African" on Earth) locked the four teens in a cell in the Rebels' underground colony; he wore the same uniform as Yatru.
Through a cell window, the teens could see people being carried around on
stretchers, and through another window was an infirmary chamber where
many people were sick from a coral disease; one man who was just carried
in was initially covered with white foam on his shoulder which suddenly
grew into giant coral coverings; other people had coral growths and even
clawlike arms.
Soon, Yatru presented
to leaders Kinwon and Taikwa the four handcuffed teens, who wore tan flight suits with Ranger-colored undershirts and
five-square Ranger badges; Yatru insisted these were the spies responsible
for turning their people into coral.
Kinwon, the leader of the Rebels, was an older
man with white hair, and his female companion Taikwa was younger than
him, with brown hair streaked with blonde areas, like Andros's hair.
When T.J. claimed innocence,
Yatru replied that they'd been on the surface
with surveillance equipment, showing Kinwon a confiscated AmScanner.
Kinwon told Yatru to
let them speak, and Carlos insisted they were
merely tracking an energy source; Kinwon wondered why a search party
would come to Centaur B, saying the
planet was nothing but an ill-tempered rock.
T.J. said they were looking
for someone, and when this received only unmoved murmuring from the
crowd of Rebels, Ashley nodded to him, and he
declared that they were Power Rangers; this
surprised the people a bit, at which point Yatru violently pretended to take something from
behind Ashley, a small canister.
Yatru smashed the
canister against a wall, and the liquid inside turned into white foam,
which then turned into a cluster of coral.
Ashley insisted the
canister had been planted, but Yatru declared
that they were guilty as charged and ordered for them to be taken away
to be destroyed.
Kinwon argued that this had not been a trial; Yatru insisted they were destroying their
people, and Taikwa asked Kinwon how much more evidence he needed, but
Kinwon insisted that their guilt was not for Yatru to decide; if they threw out their laws,
chaos would reign.
Kinwon told Yatru he
would hold him personally responsible if any of the teens were harmed, and Yatru grudgingly had the teens taken away.
Back in his cavern, Yatru was told by Dark
Specter not to fail, and Yatru insisted
it was only a matter of time.
Once the hologram had faded, Kinwon suddenly
confronted Yatru, having heard the
conversation and learned that the teens
actually were Power Rangers and Yatru was in fact the spy.
The teens identified
themselves to the Rebels, and the Rebels referred to the teens, as "Power
Rangers" rather than "the Power Rangers,"
indicating a seldom-seen awareness of multiple Power Ranger teams in the universe.
As Yatru said Kinwon's
discovery would be his own undoing, Coralizer grappled Kinwon from
behind and dragged him away.
Using tools of some sort, T.J. and Cassie chipped away
at the rock holding a bar on one side of their cell, and the four soon
escaped through the hole once the bar was removed; the guard outside the
other end of their cell soon saw they were gone and called more guards
to the scene.
Upon reaching a dead end in the tunnel, the teens were startled by a coral-covered hand
reaching from around the corner, but they quickly discovered it was a
barely-conscious Kinwon, having been struck by the coral plague.
Yatru and guards
confronted the teens, and Yatru declared that they'd gotten Kinwon.
Later, the teens were in
front of an angry mob who all wanted the destruction of the spies.
Yatru ordered for them
to be taken to the surface and destroyed, but the cloaked and masked Zhane and Andros stormed
in and ordered them to be released; Yatru
said they were more spies and told the guards to capture them, but the
two pulled Astro Blasters and aimed them
at the guards.
Andros declared that
they weren't spies, and nor were the four teens; he and Zhane then
removed their masks as he declared they were Power
Rangers, stunning the crowd.
Taikwa knew Andros and
Zhane, and Andros was
surprised to see her there; she explained that they had been in hiding
since escaping from KO-35.
Yatru insisted that
the teens were spies and ordered for them to be
destroyed, but Andros and Zhane again aimed their Astro Blasters at the guards; the guards
were confused and reluctant to act, so Andros
had them lower their Astro Blasters.
Frustrated, Yatru said
he'd destroy them himself if he had to, and Coralizer stormed in.
As the crowd panicked and the guards prepared for
action, Coralizer coated three
guards with the white foam to paralyze them with the coral plague.
As the guards aimed their weapons at the fight,
Andros and Zhane
attempted to fight Coralizer
while unmorphed.
Several guards unchained the other four teens; meanwhile, Yatru
fled with Zhane on his heels.
The five teens fought Coralizer poorly, and once Coralizer had suddenly left,
Taikwa threw the four teens their confiscated
Morphers which had been on a table,
calling out Andros's and T.J.'s names.
The teens put on their
Morphers and morphed, then fought the monster on the
surface.
The Astro Delta
Megazord's flying power punches destroyed giant Coralizer, at which point all of
the coralized Rebels were instantly cured.
Elsewhere in a tunnel, Darkonda, having revealed his true form, was
pounding morphed Zhane, and he knocked the Silverizer from Zhane's arm and then slashed him back.
Kinwon threw Zhane his Silverizer, calling out his
name, and Zhane slashed Darkonda in the stomach, causing him to reel
back and explode after declaring that he'd be back.
Morphed Zhane thanked
Kinwon, telling him he'd saved his life, and Kinwon hugged him.
Some time after the destruction of Coralizer and Darkonda, the six teens
met up with Kinwon and Taikwa amidst elated Rebels in a bunker area.
Kinwon addressed the teens as, "Andros, Zhane, all the Power
Rangers," asking how they could thank them enough; T.J. replied it was their honor, calling him "sir."
Wearing a headset, the guard which had earlier
watched the teens' cell now entered and told
Commander Kinwon that evacuation was underway.
Kinwon told the teens
that the Rebels had to leave Centaur
B soon, since Dark Specter knew their
location and would be back.
The teens offered to
help, and Kinwon thanked them, saying there was much to carry.
Soon, Zhane had decided
to stay to help the Rebels, as they were building weapons to defend
themselves against Dark Specter.
Kinwon thanked the teens, saying the Rebels would return to KO-35 someday.
627-AsTT
In a courtyard
overlooking the hospital pyramid on KO-35, some
vines had overgrown certain structures, but for the most part, there
were no vast signs of desertion.
In Astronema's
memories, the voice of a woman who had cared for Andros and Karone as
children (perhaps their mother) at one point sounded just like DECA.
Andros told Astronema that when they had been children,
they'd dreamed about being Power Rangers;
which Ranger team they'd known about is
unknown.
628-RLOF
When Karone asked about
their parents, Andros didn't know whether they
were alive, but he hoped they'd escaped KO-35
before the battle.
630-DSR2
Mega Winger, Silver Ranger's robot Zord which was quite similar to (and compatible
with) the Mega Vehicles, was mostly
white; on its chest was a large yellow V with the Mega Voyager's MV symbol inside.
Mega Winger's
cockpit was identical to the V-Zord
cockpits, except with MW symbols rather than MV symbols, with "Mega
Winger" written in various locations.
On the Megaship,
Zhane explained that the Rebels had built the Mega Winger and that it was awesome.
639-Ghst
Controlling the Data Laser as the Rangers and Psycho Rangers fought, Zhane watched the blue and red dots dance around
the monitoring screen on the controls and remarked, "I knew all those
years of playing video games would pay off one day!"
641-LITS
Andros alluded to the lovely Stella Quazinella, an intergalactic star in all the big holographic films.
642-CTD1
As Astronema
organized Dark Specter's forces in taking
over the universe, Quadrafighters and Cogs invaded KO-35, crashing
through a forest.
In a desert was a massive army of Cogs, above which flew a gear ship and a swarm of Quadrafighters.
With Quadrafighters heard flying overhead,
Taikwa entered a large command tent and told Kinwon that the villains had penetrated the outer barrier
and that the inner defenses were already being pushed back; she handed
him some documents.
Other generals, also in brown like Kinwon and
Taiwka, were with Kinwon, as was Zhane, in his
Megaship uniform.
Kinwon said they couldn't resist Astronema's attacks much longer and needed
reinforcements, so Zhane left, planning to
return with the other Rangers.
Outside the tent was a rock wall.
In the preview for
this episode after 641-LITS, Piranhatrons and Cogs
had been shown chasing a team of Rebel soldiers near a rocky cliff; this
scene was not shown in the actual episode, however.
643-CTD2
Hours later, Astronema told the people of Earth that the rest of the universe had surrendered.
Finding the teens in the
ravaged Angel Grove that night, Zhane said that the Rebels had surrendered.
The next Earth morning, a
wave of gold energy from Zordon's destruction
radiated outward from the Dark Fortress
near Earth as a ring of energy which spread
throughout the universe; when the wave passed
over the armies of evil, they were dissolved into
piles of sand.
Probably another day, the Megaship was landed in the KO-35 main city as Karovan soldiers loaded silver
square cases into it.
Once the last of the cargo, whatever it was, had
been loaded up, Carlos, Cassie, and T.J. spoke with
Taikwa and Kinwon.
Taikwa happily suggested that the teens spend a while on KO-35, as they'd definitely earned a vacation, but
they were a bit homesick, and Kinwon certainly
understood.
Nearby, Ashley was
deeply saddened by Andros's decision to remain
home on KO-35.
Later, the four teens
said goodbye from the Megaship's hatch and waved to the crowd, at
the front of which were Kinwon, Taikwa, Andros,
Karone, and Zhane;
behind them, officers saluted the four as the crowd waved.
Among the crowd were Karovans whom on Earth would have been described as Asian and
African.
701-QsQ1
Upwards of a year after 643-CTD2,
Terra Venture, a massive space station,
was in Earth orbit as the last of its Earthen crew arrived to begin their search for a
New World.
The origin of Terra
Venture is unknown, as the technology required to construct such an
advanced station lay centuries beyond Earthen
technological levels; it may have been begun prior to 643-CTD2.
735-EnLG
The Keonta spell in the Galaxy Book, the spell which took Terra Venture into the Lost Galaxy, began with four words, the second
of which was "Karova," the name of KO-35's star
system.
742-EsLG
In Leo, Damon, and Kai's quarters on Terra Venture was a multi-tiered chess set
like the one Alpha had used with DECA aboard the Megaship in 640-IWeb, as well as a plastic extenda-sphere
just like the one young Karone and Andros had played with as kids on KO-35.
"Karovan humans."
